I know this is a rib and groupie thread, but to reply to the seasonal comments........

Due to the distance from the sea the boat gets 'rested' in December/January but the diving (scuba!) continues. Nothng better than -2 deg on the surface and under ice on new years day. Every year for the last 25!!

Hey K,
What are you plans for the SOC send-off - you still keeping your evey on that thread? Have not seen your name on there for a while?

Back to this business!!!

Eddy,
Did you not know it was a 1,000 piece puzzle, and some of the pieces are very hard to come by...so, it may take you awhile to finish!!

I personally prefeer diving in 60ft + viz seas off and around the coast of Barbados(then again, that is the limit of my diving)
No drysuit, just a cozzie and a t-shirt, and then if night diving or deeper diving, a shortie!!!
(then again, not much sealife at 150ft)
Sometimes you do not need to go more than 40ft to have thousands of fish around you, the occasional turtle, the seahorses, and the friendly Barracadua!!!
(only seen a couple of nurse sharks once and that was off the beaten track / patch)
